Licensed Psychologist

• California, Licensed Psychologist, PSY7599

I’ve been in private practice for many years, and during that time, I’ve also worked in a variety of settings—including private hospitals and VA hospitals. These experiences have shaped how I work and deepened my understanding of the many ways people experience and move through emotional challenges. In the VA system, I worked closely with veterans facing issues like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. That work taught me a great deal about trauma, resilience, and the importance of creating a safe, steady space where people feel genuinely understood. In private hospitals and outpatient settings, I supported individuals and families dealing with a wide range of concerns, including relationship problems, family conflict, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Over the years, I’ve helped people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and marital difficulties, family issues, and challenges related to identity and self-worth. I’ve also worked extensively with individuals recovering from substance use and addiction, often in the context of larger emotional or relational struggles. In private practice, my approach is always tailored to the individual. Some people come looking for short-term, solution-focused support, while others are seeking a space to explore longer-standing patterns and work toward lasting change. I specialize in working with depression and understand how it can affect every aspect of life. Wherever someone is starting from, my goal is to offer thoughtful, compassionate support to help them move forward in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.
